102 I Won’t Bother You Anymore
When he was first thrown in prison, he was not worried. He believed that his family’s power would bail him out before long. To his dismay, not only did no one show concern for him for a long time, but his father even sent a letter telling him to stay in prison obediently and wait out his sentence!
That would require him to be sentenced to seven years of prison. Seven years. If he was really imprisoned for that long, he would be derailed from society by the time he was released. At that time, what was the point of him getting out at all? He was the only son of the Xing family and had a bright future. Was he really going to be ruined by Wang Ran?
Xing Cheng felt very indignant now, but that could not change anything. He still could not get out. At this moment, he was in a sorry state.
Therefore, when he saw Yin Xun, not only was he no longer as glib as before, but he even asked Yin Xun gloomily, “What are you doing here? Are you here to mock me?”
Yin Xun crossed her arms and said nonchalantly, “As expected, you’ve revealed your true nature now. Actually, you never liked me at all. The reason you were so eager to woo me is actually because of your bet with Si Fan, right?”
Xing Cheng’s expression instantly froze. He stammered and retorted, “What bet? What are you talking about? I don’t understand. If you want to mock me, just say it. Don’t accuse me of such things.”
“Xing Cheng, don’t think that everyone is as stupid and easy to fool as Yin Mo. You got someone to kidnap me and went to the company to pursue me. Your goal is to announce to the world that I’m with you. It doesn’t matter if I’m willing or not. As long as the outcome is right, you win,” Yin Xun said calmly.
Xing Cheng’s expression changed. He wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth and saw Yin Xun’s indifferent eyes, he immediately swallowed his explanation. The words that came out of his mouth became a question. “How did you know?”
“If I’m not mistaken, this is a secret between the two of you. Regarding how I found out, I think you should have already guessed it. Xing Cheng, you’ve been carefree since you were young, so your personality is rather simple. Si Fan is different. He’s experienced a lot since he was young. I think you can feel that he’s not the same as you.”
Yin Xun shrugged and did not answer Xing Cheng’s question directly. Instead, he let Xing Cheng think for himself.
However, it was because of this that Xing Cheng understood something else.
Of course, he knew Si Fan’s character better than anyone else. After all, the two of them had done many things together. As for the matter of wooing Yin Xun, Si Fan had provoked him into agreeing. At that time, he did not take it to heart. After all, even if he lost a little money, it did not matter. The money was still given to his good brother.
However, later on, Si Fan realized that he was not that concerned about pursuing Yin Xun. Or perhaps Si Fan felt that Yin Xun had become a real threat to him, so he urged him to deal with Yin Xun.
It was obvious that Si Fan had a grudge against Yin Xun. He had only met Yin Xun a few times and already asked him to deal with Yin Xun directly. If Xing Cheng succeeded, Si Fan would have one less competitor. If he failed, Si Fan would also be able to get money from him.
He had always known that Si Fan loved to plot and scheme, but he did not expect him to scheme against his own friend to this extent. The idea of pretending to be a kidnapper to capture Yin Xun and later acting as a hero to save her was Si Fan’s idea!
He thought about how kind he was to Si Fan in the past. As long as Si Fan was short of money or in trouble, he would help him. He thought that Si Fan at least treated him differently. At least Si Fan would treat him as a friend. He never expected that Si Fan would scheme against him in the end.
“I understand what you mean,” Xing Cheng said with a gloomy face. “The case with Wang Ran, he was the one who revealed it to you, right? In the past, he was the one who helped me deal with the skeletons in my closet. Wang Ran’s case was no exception. I never thought this matter would suddenly be brought up again. And it happened right as I was released from prison.”
“…” Yin Xun had not expected Xing Cheng to pin the blame on Si Fan for Wang Ran’s matter. This was a little beyond her expectations.
However, after thinking about it, it made sense. As a reader, she used to read these things from a third-person perspective, so she knew a lot of the details. However, the characters who lived in the book would not know all this.
“It’s obvious. I don’t think you need my confirmation.” Yin Xun neither admitted nor denied it. She let Xing Cheng guess for himself.
“Alright, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you anymore,” Xing Cheng said fiercely.
After receiving Xing Cheng’s reply, the corners of Yin Xun’s mouth curled up slightly. Wonderful, this was the outcome she really wanted.
